Hi Folks!
New member here! I found the forum searching on Google, but didn't quite find what I was after so thought I'd join and ask a question.
I'm new to rabbit owning, have kept budgies in an aviary for ages but as their numbers sadly decline, we're about to house a couple of bunnies in there and extend the living area for them. There are slabs on the floor at the moment (with wood chippings while we have the birds), so I'm thinking a rubber matting might be better and easier to keep clean when we pick up the bunnies.
So my question really is, can anyone recommend some suitable matting for around 5 square metres?
I've found this fine ribbed rubber matting (https://www.firstmats.co.uk/products/finerib-non-slip-rubber-matting) which seems cheap enough for a roll, but then I thought, is natural rubber safe for them? Will it hurt the rabbits if they chew it? Should the matting be smooth on the surface instead?
I've also found a few mats on Amazon, but they seem more like fabric.
Sorry for the newbie question, but would love to hear your experiences.
David
